Overexpression of MeCP2 may disrupt crucial signaling pathways, resulting in decreased dendritic complexity of PV interneurons and increased dendritic spine density of projection neurons. This reciprocal modulation of excitatory and inhibitory neuronal structures associated with MeCP2 implies its significance as a potential target in the development of epilepsy and offers a novel perspective on the co-occurrence of autism and epilepsy.
